It was a Kawasaki, it probably broke down again and it was the last straw for him so he ditched it thinking his story would be more believable as he was in Swansea

Yup Spain being one of them

Don't worry Pedro the UK is not the worse place for bike theft he's just hating on the UK again but you would be foolish not to take some precautions there's twats in every country https://www.bikerandbike.co.uk/uk-far-worst-motorcycle-theft/

Just the front and rear springs i think it's sprung for someone about 75kg from the factory. if your down this way anytime your welcome to take it for a ride as you know there's plenty of local stuff to try it out on for a few hours.

I can only describe it as its like riding a vibey 4 stroke you get some vibration through the footrests but you forget about it in minutes there's no real top end but if you want it its just a matter of fitting the RR pipe and you get the top end without compromising the bottom end torque apparently. Suspension is a load of shit but new springs for my weight transformed it into usable

The wife's frozen shoulder gave her the same symptoms she's had it a year now. I recon she's been putting in some serious overtime on the voodoo doll she has of me for taking the piss out of her shoulder LOL

Its a 300 never seen a 250 although i do know they exist, the seat height is 910mm but because its narrow it seems lower

I quite like them on the Africa Twin I haven't done many miles since fitting them though

No i'm probably getting under the marmite wagon to finish the gearbox job off. At the risk of sounding a bit like Pete for the last month I've had an issue with my left arm, started with a pain in the shoulder and then over the weeks has moved to the back of my bicep and then onto the forearm and back to the shoulder and keeps moving about, but no issue with using the arm other than whenever i change what i'm doing like sitting to standing, driving, laying in bed or getting out i get bad pins and needles from the elbow to the tip of my fingers. And for the last few weeks the tip of my forefinger has been numb. Not sure what will happen when i get on the bike may have a go later today if i get the car done.

ahh now it makes sense Charles Whitman was your farther

I'll have to get it up on ramps to do the filter as it is too low got to drive it onto blocks before i can get the ramps under, the pump makes it easy just pop the bonnet and away to go it takes minutes. Just as a precaution i'm waiting an hour or two after pumping the clean oil in for any air bubbles to disburse as i don't think it would be good for the transmission not sure though so taking no chances. I've changed over 8L now so it will be filter next but i will need more oil i should have bought the 20L drum instead of the 10L

I think i'll get a pair of them for myself they look comfy

Been changing the oil in the gearbox of the marmite wagon today or should i say diluting old oil with new as you cant drop the oil out of the torque converter so i have to suck the old oil out the dipstick with a little pump i bought and then measure how much came out and then pump the same amount of new oil back in through the dipstick tube, then take it for a run to mix it all together and keep repeating until it's looking cleaner, just about to have my third run only sucking just over 2L out at a time which is not far off half of whats in there. Once the oil is looking cleaner i have to drop the sump off the gearbox and change the filter then repeat the oil change process again.

Will there be some modeling photos of them fitted when they arrive Asking for a friend LOL

So just something to lighten your mood then

When your here try and find a good chippy and have a cod and chips it's hard to find a good chippy though also try some cooked bacon you'll never look back

In 2023 my boy is listening to the likes of AC/DC, Bad Company, Rainbow, Whitesnake and other groups from then he's the oldest 19 year old i know LOL
